# 16th legislature of the French Fifth Republic

## Composition of the executive

* President of France: Emmanuel Macron (LREM), since 14 May 2017

## Membership

For the first time since the 1988 legislative election, the incumbent President of France failed to earn a parliamentary majority in the National Assembly. The 2022 legislative election was widely seen as a severe blow for Emmanuel Macron. Both the outgoing President of the National Assembly Richard Ferrand and leader of the La République En Marche! party in the National Assembly Christophe Castaner lost their seats. The position of Élisabeth Borne as Prime Minister was put into question following the election result. On 21 June 2022, she offered her resignation to President Macron, who refused to accept it.

On 28 June 2022, Yaël Braun-Pivet was elected to succeed Ferrand as President of the National Assembly.
